I did a bit of digging around on the internet about this after Noam's
email, because it piqued my curiosity. I'd always dismissed V as
basically being Zig, but without any of Zig's evolutionary ideas about
memory management and comptime execution.
When V was a young project, the lead dev made a lot of wild claims about
its capabilities and performance that turned out to be misleading or
nonsensical, while it was a closed-source project.[1]_[2]_[3]_
The project's credibility was, AFAICT, irreparably damaged in its
infancy. The cited pages (and the links therein) could serve as a
foundation for a personal judgement on the matter.
